The seasonal effect on the performance of pigs reared in a backyard pig farm in Thailand: retrospective study

Abstract: This study aimed to determine the seasonal effect on the performance of pigs reared in open-barn housing in Thailand. This retrospective study was performed using two years of recorded pig perfor-mance, including average birth weight, litter size, percentage of born alive and dead piglets, weaning weight, average daily gain (ADG), percentage of weaned alive and dead piglets and meteorological data. Data were grouped based on 3 different seasons: winter, summer and the rainy season, and the differences were com… Show more

“…"The environmental parameters in the study cages, such as the breed, initial weight of the pigs, and temperature-climate in the study cages, were practically the same, in addition to the nutritional content elements that were almost the same (A and B)". The findings of this study are consistent with those provided by Lothong et al (2022) [13] , who claimed that climate has a significant impact on how well back yard-raised pigs perform. "The performance of the pigs was considerably decreased when commercial concentrate was substituted with 100% WFBF from control (24 kg) (treatment group C), particularly in final body weight, slaughter weight, average daily gain (ADG), and chest growth (p<0.05)".…”
